Missed out on the Forum for a little while but i do like Trycyrtis macrantha flowering in that deep pot - must try and copy that. On the whole they struggle through our hot summers and of course are caviar to molluscs too, but that looks a neat way of overcoming this if I can find a suitable chimney-pot. Like the Urgenia too; I've never actually come across this in a garden.
